Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a SX1278-Based Addon Solution for Health Monitoring of Vertical Hydraulic Firewood Processor in Timber Industry
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Effectively managing the health of Vertical Hydraulic Firewood Processors is a significant concern for the timber industry. An efficient and well-integrated system for real-time data gathering and processing is lacking, which makes it more difficult to identify operational problems promptly. This leads to increased maintenance expenses, increased downtime, and decreased production all around.
US20120298260A1 - This patent discloses a firewood processor with a main framework featuring an infeed trough to advance logs along a longitudinal axis toward a cutting station. The station uses an operator-controlled rotating blade positioned above the trough for vertical movement to cut the log into rounds.
Research Gap: The innovation here is a wireless solution using SX1278 RF and cloud integration for real-time health monitoring of a vertical hydraulic firewood processor, specifically designed for the timber industry.
US10391668B2 - This invention relates to a firewood processor equipped with a saw, wood feeding mechanism, splitting chute, and splitting wedge to split logs. A pressure plate and wedge move towards each other to split logs, with a returning element automatically sending intermediate splits back to the chute for further processing. The processor includes safety protections for users.
Research Gap: The novelty in this system is the use of SX1278 RF wireless technology integrated with cloud support to monitor the health of a vertical hydraulic firewood processor for applications in the timber industry.

Sensing technology, wireless communication modules, and cloud-based data analysis are all seamlessly integrated into this creative solution to create a complete health monitoring system for the Vertical Hydraulic Firewood Processor. This arrangement uses two separate nodes, SATDF_HMFPNode and SARDF_HMFPNode, to operate a synchronized system that monitors the vertical hydraulic firewood processor in the timber industry. The ATmega16 MCU Board, MEMS Accelerometer, Temperature Sensor, Current Sensor, RTC Module, SD Card Module, TFT Display, LED Indicator, and Power Supply are all included in the SATDF_HMFPNode's configuration. Conversely, the SARDF_HMFPNode makes use of a power supply, an ATmega16 MCU Board, an SX1278 RF Module, a GSM modem, a TFT display, and an audio indicator. The primary purpose consists of the sensors on both nodes gathering vital information about the firewood processor's functioning.
The SATDF_HMFPNode uses the SX1278 RF Module for wireless connection in order to send the gathered data to a Tailored Cloud server that is specifically meant for this use case. SARDF_HMFPNode uses the GSM Modem for communication in the interim. After that, the data is processed using pre-built machine learning algorithms on the Tailored Cloud server to produce analyzed data based on the Vertical Hydraulic Firewood Processor's health criteria, including Trending Data charts, Real-Time data, and Critical warnings. The TFT Displays included into each nodes show the analyzed data, giving users a localized perspective of the machine's condition. Furthermore, operators can log in and remotely monitor the machine's operation via a customized online dashboard that is available within the Timber Industry premises.
